The station is crucial to studies into globally important issues, including the impact of extreme space weather events, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena.

It was scientific investigations from this location that led to the discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole in 1985.

Preparatory work for the relocation was carried out during the 2015-16 Antarctic Summer season from last November to March.

Now the station has emerged from months of winter darkness, operational teams are ready to tow the station to its new home, which will see them uncoupling the eight modules and use large tractors to transport each part further inland.

Scientific research at Halley will continue in temporary facilities at the existing site and move to the new location next season.
